Today, Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant released the following statement on Senator Joyner’s election as Senate Democratic Leader:

“I want to extend my warmest congratulations to Senate Democratic Leader Arthenia Joyner. Throughout her distinguished career, Arthenia has led the fight for civil rights, for working men and women, and for expanding opportunity in the Sunshine State. During my time as chairwoman, Senator Joyner has been not just a source of inspiration, but a strong, clear voice of leadership on behalf of Florida’s middle class — and all those working to join it.”
